sorry, I was misleaded byt the subject
I created a piratepad, please go in and help describe OBS for the tens of thousands of users who visit build.opensuse.org and openbuildservice.org!!!
I don't know how to insert what I think there.
There are two point of view importants (at least)
1) the programmer point of view. I'm noit a programmer, so I let this to your appreciation
2) the user pont of view. For the user tha OBS is a library of programs ready to install and run. The problem so far is that one have to know the exact program name to ba able to search for it (AFAIK). So the work flow for an user is to search google for the application that fits his needs then search OBS to find it's distribution version
Yup, that is an issue. And until that is fixed, I don't think we should write the text towards users... which solves the problem, for now ;-)
The site can be changed anytime later on. Once OBS gets a good way of searching and downloading packages, we can update the text.

The current workflow seriously needs to be fixed.
true or not, not really on-topic here, we (as in the marketing team) won't be fixing it ;-)
PS feel free to kick adrian in the balls if you have issues, but if you take that litterally I recommend you kick hard to make sure he can't come after you ;-) Serious, workflow things need fixing indeed, but what he needs is CONCRETE SUGGESTIONS. Not of the type "fix it" or even "this and this doesn't make sense" but "this works like this now. It makes more sense if it would work like this. See a mock up I made". The coding doesn't take much time - it is the thinking about what the best solution is that takes a lot of time. And that exactly is what people could help with if they were willing to put in a little more thought. ;-)
